Don't worry, the first time I did archery, I had a literal skull shaped bruise with a red eye, it looked freaking awesome xD (Ps, the string knows how to evade arm guards!)
No high school for the boys? Naww... :)

This first chapter was awesome! You are a very talented writer! Also, for the zebra crossing thing, in America, we just call them crosswalks. I had to Google what a zebra crossing was at first, though. XD well, I learned something new. Next time I see a crosswalk, I'm calling it a zebra crossing and laugh as people marvel at my new-found knowledge. :) get it? "Marvel"? XD
